14 months week 1

Fun times on Saturday. We went with Rob to a magic tournament he was judging. So we got to go see my parents and sister. And then after spending some time hanging out with my family we headed on over to visit Rob's family. Xavier had a good time crawling in the grass at a playground and then seeing the doggies and kitty at his other grandparents house. Then when it was close to time for Rob to be finished we went back to the mall and did some shopping and Xavier got to crawl around in the play area for a while.

This week we've had to break out the long sleeves and pants and socks. I also tried to get some shoes for him to play outside at daycare. I got three different pairs in three different sizes at a consignment sale I went to on Wednesday, but not one really fit well. I just don't want to spend $40 on shoes he'll wear hardly any. (that's what Stride Rite was going to cost even on sale!)

So, I'm on the hunt for shoes. I guess I need to print off a size chart.

No particular toy attachment this week. He loves playing with my pedometer. That's about it though.

Posting a little early this week because it was SUPER slow at work today (Thursday) so... Early post! Sorry there's not a whole lot of pictures, but go through the jump to see what I have.

(almost) 14 months

Well this week's biggest news is cutting molars. I've seen one on the top right and the top left opposite is very swollen and purple so I can tell it's trying to come though, just not popped through yet. I think I might have seen a glimpse of one on the bottom recently too.

Hmm... What else... what else...

We've been struggling with food again. He wouldn't even eat his favorites (mashed potatoes) last night. I think it could be due to discomfort with teething. He's also been nursing (maybe comfort, maybe nourishment since he hasn't been eating much, or both) a lot. I guess all I can say is even though people keep telling me to stop nursing him and he'll eat fine, my thought is that toddlers (even though he's not walking yet he's in that general age range) get picky with their eating regardless and also go through teething issues. I'm glad that I can still be giving him good nourishment and when he's ready to eat, he'll eat. It's obvious that he CAN because of the post recently where he was eating all sorts of barbecue.

I don't remember what this video is, but I took it and put it on youtube and put the link here to share. haha

Well... I guess time for your weekly Xavier picture fix.

13 months week 4?

Another week in the books.

13 months week 3

We've had a big week food wise!!

13 months week 2

Not much to talk about. He has been approved to start transition to 1 year old room starting next week. So that's pretty big. I guess his progress with food has been paying off. Which brings me to say that we have a new favorite snack. Veggie Straws. They're made out of mostly potato puree and then baked crispy. I like them, Xavier likes them, it's all good. When I have a bowl of them and am snacking on them he will come along and take some. Which is pretty big!

Biggest fights now are taking his iron supplement and brushing teeth and biting! Not biting while nursing. Just biting in general. I get that he's probably teething and he needs relief which is why I try to provide an acceptable alternative when he does it, but it still hurts.

I have said it before but I'll say it again. I'm really worried about his teeth. I try so hard. But his teeth are just getting worse and worse. I hope hope hope that when he is no longer on iron his teeth will go back to "normal" looking, but I'm terrified that it might not be until he gets his new adult teeth in. :(

Today is my last Saturday working (unless someone needs a trade). I'll still try to get a post up probably around Saturday anyway though.

Pictures!

13 months ;)

Rob's server had an issue so this is going to be the only location for the blog from here on out.

Sorry for the lack of post last week. We were chilling in Cincinatti!
